The repository is finally on a remote. Four months of development, one initial commit. Single-day git history begins: "feat: initial commit — BizNetrix CRM platform". That is not ideal version history but the code is safe now and the branching model can be set properly from here.
Four months of work without a remote is something I would not recommend. The day before going live on a proper remote always feels like holding your breath until it resolves successfully. Everything was there. Nothing was lost. But the risk was real every day.
